Hi,

In fact, Rspamd itself could do that downgrade, meaning setting CTE to 7bit and recoding all relevant parts to qp/base64 (depending on their content) before DKIM signing. It is all perfectly doable with the existing Rspamd Lua API I suppose. Of course, Milter connector also allows full body rewrite as well as specific headers rewrite. It just requires some manual coding.

Some clients can also be 'fixed' to use 7bit only: https:// support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1272196

In general, it is the never ending issue of the middleboxes in the Internet. You can't simply assume that all peers on your way support even 30+ years old standards. Introducing something that breaks E2E compatibility (a good example of such a thing is clearly SMTPUTF8) has always been risky in terms of deliverability.

The least common denominator is just to use 7 bit and refrain from using any sort of IDN names.

right now, I ponder to have a dedicated Postfix instance for delivering to Mimecast, either with the force_mime_input_conversion option enabled, or 8BITMIME disabled. I understand that downgrading/converting all mails to 7bit also can have disadvantages.

I learned something new with all this... :)
